The purpose of this paper is to clarify the systematization of the teacher training system
led by the Okinawa Teachers Association from 1958 to the early 1960s. Accordingly, government
documents and reports from the Conference on Educational Research in Okinawa (1950s-
1960s) were analyzed.
The findings of this study follow. First, the Courses of Study and Teacher Consultant Program
for the Ryukyus affected teacher training in each school. During the period studied, the
Okinawa Teachers’ Association and the government of the Ryukyu Islands established a collaborative
relationship. Jointly, they discussed and implemented policies for in-school teacher
training.
Second, in Okinawa, the systematization of in-school teacher training was designed to
work with the Conference on Educational Research. Thus, the conference’s policy directly affected
in-school teacher training. At the 6th Conference, the Okinawa Teachers Association attempted
to systematize in-school teacher training by founding clubs. By the 7th Conference,
founding clubs had spread to most districts. At the 8th Conference, the Okinawa Teachers Association
adopted systematization methods that linked school curriculums with conference content
and established common themes for the conference. These processes reinforced the policy
of systematizing in-school teacher training.
